Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the way in which the number of tourists and Romanian universities’ educational offer has been evolved between 2008 and 2013. Within this paper there will be displayed the main indicators concerning the number of tourists, the number of accommodation establishments and their capacity as well as the distribution on continents of foreign tourists. Among these indicators, we will have in sight the information concerning the number of Bachelor and Masters study programs offered by Romanian universities, taking into account their status – public or private. The result of the study will be represented by the framing of graphical representations of the previous mentioned indicators, the correlation and identifying the plan for the study programs in order to influence the increase of the tourist number. Another result of this paper will rely on the representation of some recommendations concerning the improvement of the Romanian universities’ educational offer so that these lead to the increase in tourist number.
